Slashdot Mirror

I also live in Pennsylvania, and I can assure you that people do indeed heat with coal. Up until just a few years ago the local high school even heated with it. If you recognize the smell you will often notice it when driving around this area. There's no shortage of suppliers: https://www.yellowpages.com/al...

I recommend you to study this even more closely, but here are some of the completely unbelievable things in this smear attempt against Assange:

"Their yellowpages site says they have been in business 5 years. http://www.yellowpages.com/hou...
Ok so how many times has this link been shared on reddit? I googled the URL specific to this site, and it's only come up three times. All within the last 24 hours."

"This shady dating site claims to be the "ONLY Dating Site to ever partner with the UN Initiative" (Now that's fucking odd...) AND THEY JUST GOT KICKED OUT OF THE UN FIVE DAYS AGO?!?!"

"Todd Hammonds LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/to... (It's fucking nothing) But it does say he lives in SF. I'm in the Bay Area also, I could pay a visit to offices if we can actually find any legitimate offices...
Their Dating Site Eventbrite page. Only one event for the fastest growing dating website that has married 3,000 people since 2011???
Here is the LinkedIn of "Kate Hogan," this is the person who wrote the "Press Release" about ToddAndClare accusing Assange of sexual misconduct. https://www.linkedin.com/in/ka...
Of course she's got only 1 connection, and no other real information anywhere. Also, the phone number listed in the press release rings twice and then immediately disconnects. But it doesn't give a recording, it just says "call failed" I've never really experienced that. Anyway you'd think that someone who just put out a press release regarding the UN and Assange would have a working phone!

Here's their bullshit subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/todda... (No posts in three months)
Here's their weird "book" that they wrote about starting their company 5 years ago. Notice how every review is exactly 189 days old and all are very short and positive. This is shilling no doubt about it. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/..."

"How can their site, registered 20 sep 2015, claim 3000 marriages by November 2 2015? http://m.imgur.com/6BqmZPY https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=..."

"Thanks to /u/ChrissFinn for linking the email from Wikileaks that ToddAndClare originally sent to Assange to get all this started. They offer him $1 million dollars to do some sort of commercial. This is obviously a scam because they don't have a million dollars, they don't even have a legitimate mailing address or working fucking phone numbers! This was a set up from the very beginning!"

" all users images are cropped and mirrored and can be reverse google image searched to other locations. Plus none of the employees seem to exist. Email between Jullian and T&C.com https://wikileaks.org/IMG/pdf/... -Honeypot to get him to accept russian funds and discredit his leaks, failed, so they accused him of pedophilia instead. When searched for. The ToddandClare business location is actually identical to this company "Premise Data Corporation" https://local.yahoo.com/info-1... Here you can view its team page http://www.premise.com/ourteam... Who's board of directors has guess who "Larry Summers" Who goes by "Lawrence Summers" in "The Center for American Progress" Superpac

But I agree, governments should go after the guys that are making $$ from it (*cough* google, bing),...

So should we go after The Yellow Pages, and hold them accountable for shop lifters? Local white pages have everyones name and address as well. They're responsible for all home invasions.

Yes, because PS3 and XBOX wireless controllers are $10 each, right?

Player 1's controller is $0 with the purchase of a console. Additional controllers are needed only for same-screen multiplayer, and Slashdot regulars such as CronoCloud have long maintained that same-screen is most useful to children, who have already become a minority in the market, and is dying out in favor of online. Besides, I've found it a lot easier to find used controllers for consoles than for phones. I bought the Xbox 360 wired controller that I use for PC gaming at this pawn shop.

I'd rather pay $60 for a game controller and $3 for each game [and] I'd be surprised if the majority of people (casual gamers) won't feel the same way, especially with portable games improving so much in quality.

I was under the impression that casual gamers expected handheld games to be in point-and-click genres, like Cut the Rope, Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Bejeweled, and the like. On consoles, conventional wisdom is that games requiring a specialized accessory (like Guitar Hero, DDR, and Wii Fit) have tended to sell well only when bundled with that accessory.

Let me rephrase it a different way: If you were to find an Android game on Google Play that could not be played to completion with just the on-screen gamepad, how many people do you think would ignore the "Controller strongly recommended" in the description, buy it, and give a one-star rating that it's too hard?

One could develop an Android-exclusive application that requires a gamepad [for the] forthcoming Ouya game console

All the android gamepads cost around that same price.

I wasn't singling out iPhone vs. Android as much as iPhone vs. 3DS/Vita. The Ouya console includes one controller. And even if you limit it to phones and tablets, if you happen to own an Xbox 360 controller or any HID controllers for the PC, those work with an Android 4 device through a $2 USB OTG cable.

If I recall, wasn't a story about FaceBook retaining information after an account was deleted recently on /.? From what I remember, if you posted all your real info to FB, delete your account, and want all of that information shredded... Try this.

Anyone who thinks Ruby on Rails can't scale is as dogmatic in their anti-hype as the original hypers were. The right tool for the right job and all that.

oh get off it. Here:
"yellow pages" . . 244 000 000 hits . . . 2 600 times linked in all of the Internet
flickr . . . . . . 251 000 000 hits . . 305 000 times linked
blogger. . . . . . 222 000 000 hits . .. 92 300 times linked

Two useful web sites that get a similar number of mentions. Only in this case the mentions aren't referring to a paper edition! Because these services are actually useful, they get linked to from all over the web.

Here's the table with hyperlinks, you can check for yourself:
"yellow pages"-244 000 000 hits-2 600 times linked
flickr-251 000 000 hits-305 000 times linked
blogger-222 000 000 hits-92 300 times linked

Still think I picked on Slashdot? I've given you ample evidence.

The above are actually useful services. If you want to try to give me a counterexample, go ahead. I have shown you that yellowpages.com is a useless service. If you want to produce a counterexample (a site linked as little as yellowpages despite being actually useful), be my guest, I defy you.

But you won't find one. Because it's as I told you: yellowpages.com is as useful as looking at hamburgers over the Internet, and gets about as many links.

Yellow Pages, MTV, New York Times, Reuters and many other high-profile companies managed to scale Rails.

That's interesting, the New York Times runs on rails? Oh no. No it doesn't. Not even close.

Yellow Pages?

A site that is so useless that I defy you to find a single person linking to it in the history of Slashdot. Zero hits.

Despite the fact that the Yellow Pages (paper edition) is incredibly well known. Everybody knows the Yellow Pages!

But yellowpages.com is so utterly useless it only gets linked a total of 2600 times in all of the Internet!!!. That's even more pathetic than Slashdot, which no one knows about, but is linked 50000 times. How well known are the two? "yellow pages" (quotes) = 244,000,000 hits. "slashdot.org" = 6,550,000 hits.

What were you saying about Rails again?

..you are never "unpaid". Never. The immediate and primary currency -your pay- you receive at all times and in as large of amounts as you wish is other peoples code they freely share. You can take this huge amount that is out there and use it for any purpose you want, including engaging in this thing called "business" where you can get paid in another form of currency if you desire. If you want to know where computers and code are used so you can "get paid" in central bankers currency while working "a job", here is a handy reference to start your search from. The vast majority of the hundreds of thousands of listings in this reference manual all use computers and code in some fashion now-a-days, and most of them all will pay you in central bankers currency if you work a job with them. So you not only get paid, you get paid twice if you use open source. Kinda nifty.

Well, it's kind of hard to organize like this with the printed page. Too many combinations of "searches" for specific trade marked names. However, with dynamically generated content backed by a database it's a breeze.

I bet if the yellowpages had an online site, they'd do the exact same thing.....oh wait, they do: http://www.yellowpages.com/nationwide/name_search/wal-mart?search_mode=all&search_terms=wal+mart
Look at the right side of the page, a long list of "Related Businesses".

yellowpages.com runs on Rails, and that's a large, enterprisey project.

All of 37signals' products are Rails sites, too, and they're handling data for plenty of enterprises.

There are a lot of "horror stories" precisely because they're horror-inducing. No one retells a story about how someone's website got built with the same number of uninteresting issues as usual.

When I was coming up, all I heard was that Perl was read-only, and that anyone with a large Perl codebase was in big trouble as soon as anyone who wrote any part of that code left the company, and that no one serious about long-term stability would ever even think about using Perl. And blah blah blah.

And anyway, if Rails was, at any given time, bad for large-scale projects, there would be plenty of people working to fix that.

Disclaimer: I work on enterprisey Rails projects, some of which are large.

And about scalability, I'm not sure if Rails is as much a problem as is Ruby. Still, people managed to build websites like Twitter and Yellow Pages on RoR, and afaik neither of them even resorted to JRuby, which on v1.0 already performs slightly better overall than Ruby 1.8 for Rails apps, and with the soon-to-be-released v1.1 shows considerable performance gains, beating even YARV (Ruby 1.9) on some specific tests.

wtf?

Let me say this first for everyone that does not no. SBC and AT&T have merged and the name of the new company is at&t(in all lowercase specifically) with the stock ticker of T. Bell South is not the same as at&t , the only thing they share in common is cingular wireless(which the new at&t holds 60% of) It does not matter if mom and pops are provided by SBC, It is still competition, plain and simple. This is per the FCC guidelines of competition.

Terms in the yellow pages are indexed by general terms, but that is mostly due to the nature of the medium. The entries in a phone book can't be reordered on the fly, as rows in a database can; if you're looking for "electrician", you will find quite a few entries in the yellow pages, but not all of them will be relevant to the type of electrician you're looking for.

It is not uncommon for a prominent brand to undergo a degree of metonymy with respect to the service or product it offers. I think it's therefor not unreasonable for Google to sell ads for AXA's competitors when "AXA" is the search term itself.

If you search for "Geico" on Yellowpages.com, you get ads for another insurance provider and for an insurance comparison service.

The phone book is not local

What if a paedophile managed to hack into the system, and then had instant access to the exact locations of thousands of children ?

You mean like cracking open a phone book and looking under "Schools?" Or did you mean picking up a local tourism brochure and flipping to the "Playgrounds" section? Perhaps even something as evil and insidious as looking up daycare centers on the Internet using YellowPages.com?

Maybe he can find one on their own, somewhere quiet.

Near enough that he/she won't be gone by the time the pervert arrives? "Hey, there's one by itself (boy or girl?) in the trees near Seattle. If I catch the 7:00 commuter flight out of San Diego and make the connection in Chicago, I can be there by ... " Sure.

Given the level of fear over people using their credit card numbers on computers connected to the internet,

Bad example. Those "fears" are nothing more than irrational, uneducated, paranoid FUD. The Internet is a far safer place to exercise your credit card than virtually all physical retail outlets.

Or you could remember to let your fingers do the walking here: White Pages , which can be reached by starting here, and doing a reverse lookup. Ah the endless possibilities of the net...
